The Bodyguard System

Chapter 263: Angela's Worries

Even though Jaden had been able to react on time, he was not able to escape from the bullet completely. So, his shoulder was scratched by the bullet.

Still, Jaden was able to retreat behind the wall, and managed to dodge a fatal shot. And even though he could feel the pain from the bullet grazing past his shoulder, he felt relieved.

It was also at this moment that Jaden finally understood that even though he was currently strong, that did not imply that he was stronger enough to be able to ignore the bullets. If someone found him in an open space, and opened fire using an AK-47, he would definitely die.

Jaden took a deep breath, as he listened to the other party, preparing to shoot once again. It was clear that the moment that he showed himself, the guy would not hesitate to attack him at all.

Having understood that, Jaden retreated. He looked around, before finding a shelf not far away from where he was. On the shelf, there were several books.

The moment that he saw the books, Jaden got an idea. So, he picked one of the books, before approaching the edge of the wall that separated the two sides.

Then, he suddenly dropped the book, making sure that the book dropped from a higher level.

Bam! Bang!

Consecutively after the book had fallen onto the ground, there was the sound of the gunshot once again. And this time, the moment that the gunshot echoed, Jaden appeared from behind the wall.

Piu!

Another bullet was used, and the guy who had just realized that he had been tricked, was shot directly in the head. The bullet was embedded in the left eye.

Thud!

The guy collapsed onto the ground, before a pool of blood formed below his body.

Jaden was finally relieved that he had dealt with all the gangsters that he had heard of coming over. But he was still cautious, considering that there might be other people within this villa.

So, Jaden first looked around, making sure that all the people that he had shot had died. Even though all of them were headshots, Jaden had to be sure of it first.

And after being sure about it, Jaden did not want to waste any more time here. So, he picked up Ruben who was still unconscious from the ground, and headed towards the exit of the villa.

He had to take Ruben back to the cops. They were the ones that were going to decide on what they were going to do with him.

But of course, after exiting the villa, Jaden made sure to deactivate the ability of the appearance shifting watch inside a bush. That way, he returned to his normal appearance, as he left.

....

Angela had been getting frustrated, considering that after over 30 minutes of searching, they did not notice any movements within the valley. Additionally, other than the bodies the they found dead, they did not find any other gangster around.

As for Jaden, they could not find any trace of him anywhere. They were not sure where he had gone to, but this was something that made her extremely worried.

She was not sure about the condition that Jaden was currently in, and, she was not willing to see anything happening to him. So, after searching for about 20 minutes, she had began shouting his name, trying to attract his attention. But all her calls ended up unanswered.

"We should stop looking for that young man for the time being, and focus on the mission. We should head directly to the villa, and deal with that group of gangsters. We cannot allow them to escape." The captain that was in charge of the mission stated.

Of course, he was also worried about Jaden. He felt that it was only right for them to look for Jaden, so that they could thank him for what he had done for them. Dealing with this group of gangsters, was something that they wanted, considering that they wanted to take revenge for the colleagues of theirs that had been taken down.

But right now, they still had a mission that needed to be taken care of. So, they could not continue searching, and could only decide to complete the mission, before coming back to search for Jaden.

Even he himself felt that it might be a pity if Jaden had ended up dying here. But there was nothing that he could do, considering that he was given a mission, and he was expected to complete it.

"We are going to leave just like that? You all know that it was Jaden that saved us all. If it was not for his decision to take action, we would have all been blown up by that RPG." Angela retorted as she asked with anger.

At this moment, her mind was clouded with anger, making her forget about the fact that she was talking to a person that was holding a high position as compared to her. And in this mission, he was granted even more power than in normal occasions.

"Ha! I understand your frustrations Angela. But what can we do? We can come back and look for him later on, but if those gangsters escape, things will be more complicated." The captain responded after sighing helplessly.

Bang!

Suddenly, there was a sound of a gunshot coming from a distance away. All of them suddenly became cautious. They were not sure if there was an enemy around or not, but the previous incident where two of their cars were blown up had made them to be extremely cautious.

"Can anyone tell me where that sound is coming from?" The captain asked as he looked at the police around him.

"I'm not really sure, but I think that it is coming from the direction of that villa. Since I was not paying attention, I was not able to clearly tell, but I can tell that the direction is definitely the same with the location of the villa." A man responded.

Bang!

Just as they were not sure, there was yet another sound of a gunshot. This time, considering that they were all paying attention, they all realized that the sound was actually coming from the villa.

Momentarily, all of them did not understand why there was a sound of gunshots there, but Angela's eyes widened a few seconds later.

They had been looking around all this while, but they had not found Jaden. Additionally, there was no any sign of activity for the past few minutes, indicating that there was a possibility that other than themselves, there was actually nobody else within this valley.

And now, there was a great possibility that Jaden was actually in the villa all this while.

'This guy! How can he do something like that? He actually went there by himself?' Angela thought to herself in disbelief.

Then without saying anything, she immediately rushed, hurrying to get out of the valley. The captain wanted to command the rest of the cops to head directly to the villa, when he saw that Angela was already rushing away.

He did not say anything, and immediately followed. In any case, the others had also began moving, and there was no need for him to say anything.

A few minutes later, they had managed to get out of the valley. Then, they got inside the cars that had not been destroyed by the explosions, packing themselves into the cars, considering that other cars had also been affected due to the explosions, before the cars charged towards the villa.

But, just as they were about to arrive at the entrance of the villa, they suddenly saw that there was a person in front of them. And, this person was actually carrying someone on their shoulder.

The moment that they got closer, they realized that it was none other than Jaden. They were surprised, considering that most of them had actually not thought that Jaden was in the villa in the first place.

Angela did not care, and immediately got out of the car. She rushed towards Jaden, just to confirm if he was okay. And, other than the blood on his clothes, she did not see anything that was out of place.

"You scared me. You should not be that reckless. You should have waited for us so that we can attack the villa together." Angela stated as she looked at Jaden with a frown.

It was not that she really cared that much about Jaden, but instead, it was all due to the fact that she was worried that Scarlet would ask her about Jaden, if something went wrong.

"There's no need to worry. I have already dealt with the people within the villa, at least the ones that I saw. And this one should be the leader of the group that was inside the Villa." Jaden responded indifferently, while not commenting on anything that Angela had said.

Thud!

At the same time as he said those words, he dropped Ruben onto the ground. Then, he moved to the side, allowing Angela and the others to see who it was that he had brought over.
